I was no older than three when my father put that first baseball in my hands, but when I finally got a chance to throw the baseball, I quickly found out that baseball was not for me. It was in the fall and I had just joined a little league baseball team called the Aliceville Reds. My dad was so proud of me, he bought me a new glove, metal bat, also a helmet. On the car ride home dad asked me if I wanted to throw the baseball in the front yard when we get home. I thought that was a great idea, so
One of my favorite memories was the first time that I went to a baseball game. It was during the summer of 2012, me and my sister Sandi were visiting my other sister Melissa and her husband Brent in Illinois. Both my sister and her husband are HUGE White Sox fans. Towards the end of our visit we all got tickets to go to the White Sox game. We all had a great time at the game, and it was one of the greatest experiences of my life. Our Journey began with the trip to U.S. Cellular Field. My sister
instant perfection prevented my understanding of baseball. Every hitting lesson with my instructor, he reminded baseball is played for enjoyment. I was too tight and pressed too hard when I played, resulting in failure. I researched quotes from famous professionals regarding their success. Almost every player stressed the importance of balancing an undemanding approach yet maintaining urgency. Starting in the fall of 2014, I played carefree baseball. Everyday at the ballpark I made a conscious effort
It was the bottom of the 6th inning, two outs, and we were up by a few runs. One more out and the Norwalk 12 year old Cal Ripken baseball team would place first in the New England regional tournament and be shipped off to Aberdeen, Maryland to play in the Cal Ripken World Series. The emotions were flowing throughout my entire body, shaking with excitement and anxiousness knowing that all of this hard work would finally pay off. All I could hear at this point in time was the Norwalk crowd roaring
I love baseball! Baseball is my favorite sport I ever played because I like the game and I like to work hard to be the best player I can be. I remember when I first started playing on my travel team. It was really fun to travel around Iowa playing the game I love with my friends. Cedar Rapids, Iowa is where it began. Our team, the Dubuque County Express, was a new travel team made up of kids from Peosta, Epworth, Farley, and Dubuque. We went out there on the field that day with our lime green
Personal Narrative My fellow reader, life is a long lasting era in which you can strive to do many great things, if you put your mind into it. A time so precious, you only get one chance at it. I plan to make mine count, not only just right now, but what I have already done and what I continue to do in the future. I understand the values of education and the bond between teams of sports to an superfluous amount. Now is when I plan to raconteur with you what I learned. Throughout my life I have
My story starts in my hometown of Hotchkiss CO, a small town west of Denver. During baseball season of my junior year. My best friend and I were hanging out, like we did every Friday night, and we went to the city for a Mcdonalds trip. When we returned to his house, his sister and her friends were there and they were drinking. Not really wanting to be a part of it we went down to his room and started playing video games. Soon his sister and her friends busted in and started waiving it in
forty-something year old mothers and fathers. Delanie was 14, Holly was 12, and I was 11. The people on my team helping went to Micmac Park since there were the boy’s baseball National championships. We thought it would drive up our acquisitions between baseball players galore and an absurd amount of proud parents at every baseball diamond. There was also a full swimming pool, a playground, and there was a family reunion where a family with what looked like an endless supply of people were yelling
life, it is up to you to take what you want from it. As a young kid learning a new sport, failure was common. I had started baseball when I was about eight years old and I had no prior knowledge of the sport until my tryouts at little league and I soon realized that I loved this sport, but it did not love me. During the tryouts I saw many kids with talent, they picked up baseball like if it was walking, it was so natural to them. Meanwhile I didn't even know which hand the glove went on. At first I
failure. Baseball is one of the biggest mental games in all of sports. The game is filled with a nine inning roller coaster ride of emotions. Players will experience a positive experience such as a go ahead home run or a great play on defense. On the flip side, you could be the team who just gave up the go ahead home run, or the batter who was robbed by a great diving catch. I live to play the game of baseball, because baseball teaches people about the challenges of life. Baseball disciplines
